"Anika wake up they will come in sometime bete " whoever coming i am not interested i just want to sleep.

" Tell them not to come i want to sleep some more " i said in sleepy voice.

"Anika wake up you are forgetting Oberoi's are coming to see you not me now wake up fast" listening this i sit in jerk.

" Thank god you woke up " he said smiling to which i frown.

" Why are you always behind my sleep" i said sitting straight.

" Because its biggest task me for to wake up of you. You know better than me "

"Sometimes only dad. And i must tell you i am working at night that's by so better do not say anything and its Sunday "

" Ohk no one can win from you and i know you hate to wake up early on Sunday but today as you know Oberoi's are coming so get ready fast and have breakfast "

" They are coming to see me not  my marriage is going to fix  today only"

" It can be possible you know"

" We will see "

I get up and take shower. I wear simple blue colour kurti  with white palazzo and  not so heavy chunri. I open my hairs and apply basic light makeup.

Flashback

On Wednesday when i came back from office. After dinner we were sitting and watching TV when dad ask me.

" Anika you are free on Sunday"

" No i have work but why?? "

"Then cancel all your meeting you have to be free as  Oberoi's are coming on Sunday "

" But dad i have important meeting"

" Either prepone it or postpone it " he said in final tone.

" Ohkk but you will let me sleep till late " to which he raise his eyebrow.
To which i shrug.

Flashback end

I look my self  and satisfy with my look i go downstairs as one of servant inform me Oberoi's are here.

I went downstairs and god knows why suddenly i am nervous. When i reach i found one elder lady is sitting with dad. And two couples are sitting with two boys.

"Here she came " dad say to which everyone attention come on me. I nervously give smile.  I go and greet dadi jii to which she give her blessings.

"Anika she is  shivaay dadi and here is tej and his wife Jhanvi jii bade papa and maa of shivaay. This is Shakti and his wife pinky jii parents of shivaay "

I greet everyone. Dadi ask me to sit beside her.

" Harsh your is daughter is so beautiful " to which i give smile to her.

Their i notice the two boys were sitting one with long hair and another with good body. One say something to other and he smack in his head.
To which he frown.

" Puttar he is omkara elder son of tej and Jhanvi " to which he greet me.
" He is rudra younger one in our family "

" Hello i am rudra the most handsome member in our family and you can call me Rudy" to which everyone laugh.

"Hello rudra"

I look around but not found Shivaay that's means is not coming hell here i am sitting leaving my work and here he didn't have time to come. Means i am not desparate. I saw him in front pages of newspapers and magazines . But without meeting him how i can decide.

"Puttar shivaay is coming his flight get late that's by. But he will come in half n hour" his dadi inform me.

Then everyone start talking to me. They seem good people. Dadi is my fav in whole family. She is so open minded  and cool. Tej uncle and Jhanvi was sweet couple. Shakti uncle is quite one and pinky aunty is opposite of him excited everytime.
Whereas  om was mature and ru was funny and childish but cute at  same time.

We were talking when we hear the sound of car coming.

"Bhaiya is here" rudra is said to me in a teasing  tone.

Everyone look towards the main door. I also look i don't want to but this stupid heart didn't listen to me.

Here come the Shivaay Singh Oberoi in his glory. Wearing brown suit with white shirt hairs were messy with black shades looking handsome better then in magazine and papers.

Behind him come two man in uniform like his guards. Who in earth bring guards when you go to see a girl. Here we are not going to attack him or do something wrong.

He come and remove his shades and look towards dadi then at me. When his blueish eyes meet mine. I don't why i feel world stop around me.
His eyes were holding something very deep. I don't know why I feel like this way.

Then i hear sound of throat clearing. I look beside to find dad is grinning like a child looking at me.

He come and hug dadi ask her about her health.

" Shivaay i already told you not to bring your guards with you"

" Khanna your work is done you can go now " dadi said to one of his guard.  To which he look at Mr.oberoi.

" Don't look at him. I am telling you can go " to which he nodded and go.

" Dadi we know how  important  khanna is to bhaiya "

" Shut up rudra" Mr.Oberoi  said to him. While everyone trying to control their laugh.

" He said the truth shivaay" om said hi-fi with rudra.

" You don't start Om"

" Om ru it's now enough" dadi said .

I really don't understand what happen right know. Then he shake his  hand with dad then bend down and touch his feet  taken me surprise as whatever i heard about i didn't except this and apologize for coming late.

Dad refuse him but he said i respect him and admire as senior in business industry.

" No need to apologize shivaay i understand " he sit opposite to me with rudra and om. Then i saw rudra say something to him to which he glare him. To which he ignore and om sign in disbelief.

"Everyone come lets have lunch first"
I signed in relief because i don't know what will I talk to him.

Everyone settle i sit between rudra and Om. And Mr. Oberoi opposite to me.

Lunch was happy event. Everyone enjoys with rudra jokes indirectly teasing me or Mr. Oberoi.

After lunch everyone again settle in living room. Then dadi ask dad.

"Harsh it's better anika and shivaay talk with eachother alone" and again i  feel  nervous.

" Yes Anika take shivaay to the garden" to which i nodded. Both get up i lead him towards the garden. He is following me. I feel his gaze from behind. Actually it was very awkward.

He take his seat and i sit opposite to him. Their is silence like we both know what to say. I thought to clear things before.

" I want you to say no to this marriage " we both say at same time.

We both were shock . Because i don't except this from him.

"Ms. Kabir  coming straight to the point i don't want to get married i am doing all this because of my family. "

"Same goes to me Mr. Oberoi i also don't want to get married but i already give my words to dad.

Their is again silence between us.
The silence is break by the ringing of his mobile. He pick up and move to corner.

He talking something serious. He is looking tried one hand is massaging temple. Coat in one hand shirt sleeves roll upto his elbow. But in this state also he is looking handsome.

Stop it anika what are you thinking. Now think something to get out from this problem. But i can't hurt dad feelings. He fulfilled my every wish till today.  And he ask one thing to me. No i can't denied to him. My chains of thoughts break by Mr. Oberoi voice.

" Now what we will do  if you can do something or convenience your family."

"If  i could i have done that "

" Now what to do " i ask him.

" Their is only one way let's get married then " he said cooley like it's nothing for him.

" What are you saying"

" U have another way then tell me "

I really don't know what to do.

" See i will thought something about this situation for that i need time for now tell everyone that we need time then we will come out with something to stop all this"

I think about this if get sometime we can do something.

"Ohk fine"

Before he can say anything rudra come grinning.

" Bhaiya I know both of  you want to spend some time but everyone is waiting for you "

" We are coming rudra "

" Come fast " he left from their.

" We will discuss later " saying he also left from their with expression less face. Like it's a deal for him. I already read about him . I don't know much about him. But  today i saw the way the he love his family the bond he share with his family members. He behaves nice with my father also.
But am i doing right. I just don't know.

I also follow them. Dad look at me i give smile to him to which he sign in relief. Dad take me in room.

" Beta what did you decide if their is something tell me now"

" No dad but i think we need some time "

" U can take as much time you want "

We go outside and sit with them.

"Maajii anika want some time so they can know eachother well then they will decide i hope you guys don't have any problem. "

" No harsh we are also saying  same thing it's better for them to decide after knowing eachother"

"Shivaay if you don't have problem can we talk " dad ask to which i give look now what he wanted to talk with him.

To which he nodded they go inside.

Dadi ask me to sit with her.

"Anika puttar i don't what will you guys decide but i genuinely like you. And i think you are perfect for my Shivaay. What people say about him he is not like that. I hope to see you as my grand daughter in law"

To which i smile to her. After sometime they come out . Then they all take leave. At last long day comes to end.
